An essential tool

Without this help I was really struggling. The Zoom lessons are very helpful. I feel I am not progressing as well as I hoped but without them I would be really lost.
The instructor is very good and gives clear and concise lessons.

Hi Kent is a fantastic organisation

Since finding out about Hi Kent they have helped me in so many ways. There are local groups to join that give you so much useful information. Through this I have got aids for my home which have helped enormously with my hearing loss, which I suffered as a result of surgery for a brain tumour. I have also attended lip reading classes which they provide free of charge which has not only been so very useful but has introduced me to a new group of friends. I can’t recommend Hi Kent highly enough & thank all the staff involved for helping me in what can be a very lonely & difficult situation.

First class service

First class service. Really friendly, informative technician. Took the time to thoroughly explain how microsuction works to remove ear wax. The procedure was straightforward and I can hear again.

BSL Taster session

Really enjoyed the BSL Taster session on Saturday 29 June 2024. Barbara was brilliant (and very patient) in teaching us to sign and giving us an insight to BSL. Would recommend this course to anyone interested in learning to sign

Excellent presentation

The representative from Hi Kent Canterbury, came and gave a presentation to our retirement group, covering all aspects of hearing loss and how Hi Kent could help, as well as providing information on other options. She also stayed on to answer individual questions. It was all very well received by everyone, and I would have no hesitation in recommending the organisation if you need information or help on the topic, or if you want an interesting subject for a group talk.

TV hearing problems…

I was having problems with hearing the TV. I was recommended to Hi Kent Maidstone for advice. Staff were very helpful and showed me what equipment would benefit me even visiting my home to help install said equipment. Great service and especially the staff who went the extra mile to help me.

We were very disappointed that we could not get your TV to work with the equipment. Such a shame! Please don't hesitate to get back in touch if we can help in the future. Thank you very much for the review.

I had a problem with my ears and Zoe at Canterbury responded to my need for urgent help as I had a holiday departure flight a few days later! I would strongly recommend anyone with ear problems to seek help from them! I will certainly be using the services that they offer again.

I found this charity through Age UK

I found this charity through Age UK. I needed details of a phone that would help her as she is very hard of hearing.
I was able to see them as I was in Maidstone (you usually have to book) they offered me a referral for assessment to see how they can help her.
There website has so much to help the deaf and hard of hearing. It's true,you don't know till you ask

Dear Patricia. We are very happy to hear your experience of our wax removal service. Thank you very much for the review.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

HI Kent - the best experience for ear wax removal.

We received a warm welcome at HI Kent, having booked for ear wax removal. Microsuction was a new experience which Zoe explained in detail so I would understand what she was going to do. This included showing me pictures of just how blocked both ears were - Zoe having thoughtfully checked first whether I wanted to see the images! Throughout the process she frequently checked whether I was comfortable, regularly reporting on progress. Zoe has such a warm, kind and friendly personality and is a skilled professional with the microsuction technique. I shall follow her advice to have my ears checked periodically and will look forward to returning to this charity.
